HTC and Google have gone up a notch with the display on the Nexus 9, matching Apple's iPad Air 2 with a 2048 x 1536 resolution which automatically becomes a lot sharper thanks to being crammed into a smaller window. So is this the tablet for you? Are you going to go all Android for your tablet needs, taking in the new document management and web browsing space while staring sadly at the black bars above and below your videos? As usual Apple still adds a premium to the tag of its tablet, but given the Nexus 7 was so cheap it's a little sad to have to pay so much for the new version. Google teamed up with HTC to make this flagship Android tablet, and with it nabbed some of the bits that made the HTC One M8 one of the best phones on the market, and squished them into a frame that's certainly a lot more lovely to hold than any of the previous Nexii tablets.īut what of the price? It's not cheap at £319 for the 16GB version, and £399 for 32GB of internal storage is verging on iPad territory. It's a bit of a feather in the cap for Apple, as the big change is to the screen size: not only larger, but the 4:3 aspect ratio parrots that of Cupertino's slate hero, the iPad Air 2.Īctually, all the iPads, but that's the one that people will compare the Nexus 9 to.
